Hey there!
So I haven't written in a while so I'll catch you up.
The last time I wrote, I had just returned from New York. Well since then, I was in the Dennis Rec. Program Dance Recital as a guest artist. I did a "Vogue/hip hop" number to "Blow" by Ke$ha. It went rather well I'd say. I don't think the audience QUITE knew how to take it. It's one thing to see on "So You Think You Can Dance" but a complete other thing to see live on stage on Cape Cod for that matter. I had rave review about it though so that's cool! It was fun!
Well after that, I just kinda had been focusing on being on the South Beach Diet with my Mom. My starting weight (I'm not ashamed to admit) was 200lbs. I was having the hardest time getting under 200. The first phase of South Beach is to cut out carbs and fruit and dairy and stuff. It's a complete DETOX!!! It sucked! I was hangry for 90% of that time period. However I dropped a lot of weight! I'm currently in the upper 180's which I haven't actually seen I don't think since I was a Freshman in College maybe even in High school!!! I'm now in Phase 2 and am working towards getting to 175! Once I hit my "Goal Weight" I can enter phase 3 once I hit that goal weight. At least in phase 2, I can have fruit and Yogurt and shtuff again. That was the hardest part. not having it I mean.
Well. ANYWHODLE! off that subject! I recently went to New York again for another Disney Audition. I didn't get the job or even a call back! I don't understand WHAT it was that they were looking for that day, but I was def. better than almost ALL of the guys in my group and I still got cut! Whatever! I don't really wanna talk about that again. That same night of the audition however, a friend of mine took me to Times Square and we went to see A Normal Heart, the new Broadway play that won a couple awards. It was AMAZING!!! and that, my friends, is an understatement! Conveniently that same weekend I went to New York, was Pride Weekend. I honestly had NO idea! Also New York FINALLY legalized Gay Marriage. I was at Second on Second singing Karaoke for the first time when I got a text from a friend of mine telling me the great news!!!! It was a great weekend! Apart from what I did out and about in the city, I had been thinking a lot, about pretty much everything. Where I 'm going with my life, where I wanna move, how do I get the funds to do what I want to do, etc...
To be honest, I'm still thinking about all of those things and I'm getting closer to my decisions. I'm not quite there yet, but I'm much closer.
When I got home from New York, I just slept in and hung around the house. The following evening, I received a text from my friend, Chris, asking me if I wanted to be an extra in Adam Sandler's new movie. I WAS SOOO DOWN!!! I'd never done extra work before and was all for it! I drove to Franklin that night and stayed with Chris while shooting. There were 8 of us going up to work on the movie. The first day (Wednesday) was LONG. We arrived at 11am. Our call wasn't until 12:30pm but w/e we were there early and just hung out in the Extras holding room. We met some other guys that were pretty chill and hung out with them for several hours. One of the guys from our group ended up being picked to go to the set in the mid afternoon. We were all stoked for him but were of course jealous that he got picked and the rest of us had to just wait around some more. At around 11pm, the whole lot of us got picked in a group to go down to the set. We were waiting outside, when one of the crew members came out and picked ME and one of the guys we made friends with, to go inside and have an "entrance" into the club. We were there until like 3am which was AWESOME! The next day (Thursday) I had to go back before all the rest of the guys in my group to finish shooting from the night before. I was having soooooooo much fun, I couldn't even handle it! Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, Ciara, Will Forte, Milo Ventimaglia.... Just SOME of the people I saw while there. By the end of the second day, I found out that all of the other guys were no longer needed and that I had to come back on Friday to Finish shooting!!!!! Friday I was there from about 1:30pm- 6am the next morning!! It was a LONG day, but I loved every second of it!!! I didn't get a SAG waver but it's really ok because I had such a great experience!!!
I'm making a to DO list of what I need to do by this time next year. Lets hope that I can figure it all out and get started on the rest of my life! Here's hoping!
